ASF governs itself through the basic principle of "meritocracy" — literally, govern of merit.
ASF also has been able to find balance between openness and economical feasibility, earning the Foundation deep respect from across the spectrum from individuals up to multinational corporations.
Furthermore, ASF is a virtual entity that exists only on the Internet; its only physical existence is the technical infrastructure that enables it to operate.

 ASF Position Regarding Sender ID - The Apache Software Foundation
Subject: DEPLOY: Apache projects unable to deploy Sender ID This message summarizes the position of the Apache Software Foundation, the Apache SpamAssassin Project Management Committee, and the Apache JAMES Project Management Committee.
The pragmatic Apache License makes it easy for all users, commercial and individual, to deploy Apache products including Apache SpamAssassin (an extensible email filter which is used to identify spam) and Apache JAMES (the Java Apache Mail Enterprise Server).
The current Microsoft Royalty-Free Sender ID Patent License Agreement terms are a barrier to any ASF project which wants to implement Sender ID. We believe the current license is generally incompatible with open source, contrary to the practice of open Internet standards, and specifically incompatible with the Apache License 2.0.

 Licenses - The Apache Software Foundation
The Apache Software Foundation uses various licenses to distribute software and documentation, to accept regular contributions from individuals and corporations, and to accept larger grants of existing software products.
